Laughter. LOL's. LMAO. ROFLMAO. ROFLMAOPMP. CTMN. (coffee through my nose)
The multi-purpose emotive. Natural anti-depressant/mood elevator. Natural stress reliever. Natural diffuser. The key to a healthier mind/body/center. No trips to the doctor. No prescription needed. A finely honed sense of humor requires no additional space/luggage and can accompany you anywhere at anytime. Don't leave home without it.

What is funny. Almost everything when viewed askewed.
Stuck in traffic or in a queue at the store. Try awfulizing. The very worst case most absurd scenario you can come up with
"The guy with the walker has passed us in traffic again...and now I am stuck in this queue at the market and I think the woman in front of me clearly has 1,650 items in a line that is marked 20 or less...at this rate they will find my skeletal remains clutching this pork roast I picked up for dinner."
Take a few minutes to peruse the comics or the forwards in e-mail...find a laugh...share a laugh.
Search for the nugget of humor in any situation. There usually is one. Even in Auschwitz there was humor among the death camps...black humor...but humor nonetheless. Surely, if Victor Frankl could find moments of levity- we can in our everyday lives.
Rent or buy a good comedy DVD.
